Asking money from investors with a FAKE TEAM = Stock images
As you can see, they are in such a rush to take investors money that they didn't even finish their website (lorem ipsum)

Hello,

We still waiting to hear/read more about your team. It is not listed on your website.

About your whitepaper, you are very late at delivering that - You are not following your roadmap.

The graphic of your roadmap on your website site shows "Q3-2018" which is between July-September. We are in February 2019 and you still haven't presented your whitepaper for investors.
Maybe investors should start to worry about your project and start to demand to read the whitepaper and information about your team - such as pictures and profile. And any possible investor maybe should avoid your project until you provide your whitepaper and team information. Failing to deliver what is on the roadmap is NOT good for any project.

Thank you for the instructions on how to upload an avatar. 

Hello Team,

Your website is not finished and link to your whitepaper doesnt work.

We received an email from Dennis Oosting pointing out this project has a few fake team members.
And he sent the link where the stock images can be found - see below:

After inspecting a few pages of their whitepaper, we detected plagiarized content. We have not checked the entire whitepaper - just a few pages.

We have contacted some team members and we are waiting for their response.

Doesnt work for us either. Our best guess is that they are temporarily offline changing their team images because someone that made their website used wrong images. (lol)

First ask her which Lawyer is she referring to, the real one or the fake one = Igor Cherchesov?

And second, ask if she knows who she really is? Because apparently, she has another name.

Hello,

There are some questions we would like Olga to answer in regards to another project that she is involved with.
Maybe you can send her a message asking her to go to this scam accusation thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5059552.0 and explain some questions such as:

Why she failed KYC and what did she do to pass it later. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5059552.msg48275923#msg48275923
Why her name is listed on that project as a team member. There is nothing about that other project listed on her Linkedin profile. Was her image stolen for that scam?

Please send these questions to her and we will be waiting for her answer on the thread posted above.

Thank you.

Good job OP for denouncing them.  We looked into 2 other members and they are also fake = stealing people's identity.
Maybe the entire team is fake, we didnt search the other members yet.

We want to thank everyone for the support. And especially to TheNewAnon135246 we appreciate your time for creating this thread.

Good job OP finding this other scam. Fake team and stealing people's identity is a scam.

And in this case you are aware that they are stealing people's identity, which is a crime. And also it will result in giving your project a bad reputation and scaring potential investors.

Removed! - No, we dont have a BTC address yet, but we will provide one soon.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the long reply, but we hope this post will explain our views regarding donations.


ICOEthics has been a member of this forum since June of 2018, and we have never asked for donations on this forum! What we do, we do for the community.
But donations are welcome, as we do have expenses. The donation address is the one provided to Coolcryptovator (0x53B9dAEd9FD4B169A2eA5113aa603b3c613d93dB)

We always did FREE work and we will continue to do FREE work for the community.

We have detected around 300 scams and never asked for anything. We are not in this for money or merits (we are sure people in this forum will agree), but here to help identify possible scams. Many of them are completely disrespectful and soulless ( for example; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099131.0 )

We don’t promote anything about ICOEthics website.  We use it mainly to store files that we use on our posts/threads on this forum. We don’t have much time to keep it up or develop since we have our regular jobs as well. We try to update the site once a week or two, or more.  

Our main focus is to find what is fake, which leads to a possible scam and expose them (fake team, plagiarized whitepaper, etc). One of the best sources to expose them is Bitcointalk, of course, and Twitter.

As many of you already know we have been called many bad names, accused of extortion, racism, discrimination, etc. We have also received proposals for bribes, which we always post them on the forum, so we all can laugh together - death threats, virus sent to our email (caught), etc.

So, to make this a short story, this is our concern about asking for donations, and we welcome the community's input: A scammer can make a deposit to our donation address and accuse us that this was a bribe/extortion money, and to avoid all that hassle we have stopped asking for donations on our website.

Finally, many thanks to you, rhomelmabini, for the signature that you created for us!  As far as adding our donation address to the signature, we as a team will consider that.
